I'm curious as well. As there are only four teams, how will CBS organise the episodes?
two pit stops? Eliminate a team in the first hour and leave a final 3 in the last hour?
Is there any yield in the first hour?

I was seriously thinking about the possibility of one of the teams being eliminated at the end of the first hour...because now that they've used all the NELs there could be a pit stop along the way

I remember from season 1 that the last pit stop wasnt really a pit stop (no one got eliminated) but the teams were required to stay in this tiny Alaskan cabin for 12 hours (kinda like a task)

It is kinda confusing because certain seasons of AR aired the season finale as a full two hours while most of them aired the last two hours on separate weeks. I like it much better when they air the last two epies together.

That wasn't the pit stop, that was just a place to stay for the night to be ready to do the task the next morning. They got to a significantly larger "Musher's Lodge" (IIRC) later the next day for the pit stop.
